338 Sunday Update: As Carney Heads South, Polls Tighten at Home

Fresh federal data point to a narrowing gap, Legault struggles in Quebec, and Alberta’s municipal contests heat up.

Happy Sunday morning, dear 338Canada readers,

Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to visit Washington this week to meet with the American administration — an event that will likely eclipse everything else in our political bubble.

While polls show many Canadians expressing fatigue with the constant Trump-everything-all-the-time narrative in the news, the state of the Canada–U.S. trade relationship remains a crucial issue north of the border, as it continues to affect virtually every other top-of-mind concern — most notably the cost of living, employment, and the overall state of the economy.

Also: new provincial data from Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador, and fresh numbers from Alberta’s mayoral races.

Welcome to the 338 Sunday update.
